Magnetic Photon Splitting: Computations of Proper-time Rates and Spectra
The splitting of photons γ → γγ in the presence of an intense magnetic field has recently found astrophysical applications in polar cap models of gamma-ray pulsars and in magnetar scenarios for soft gamma repeaters. Numerical computation of the polarization-dependent rates of this third order QED process for arbitrary field strengths and energies below pair creation threshold is difficult: thus...
متن کاملCollective magnetic splitting in single-photon superradiance
In an ensemble of identical atoms, cooperative effects like subor superradiance may alter the decay rates and the energy of specific transitions may be shifted from the single-atom value by the so-called collective Lamb shift. So far, one has considered these effects in ensembles of two-level systems only. In this work we show that in a system with atoms or nuclei under the action of an externa...
متن کاملPhoton Splitting and Pair Conversion in Strong Magnetic Fields
The magnetospheres of neutron stars provide a valuable testing ground for as-yet unverified theoretical predictions of quantum electrodynamics (QED) in strong electromagnetic fields. Exhibiting magnetic field strengths well in excess of a TeraGauss, such compact astrophysical environments permit the action of exotic mechanisms that are forbidden by symmetries in field-free regions. Foremost amo...
متن کاملPhoton Splitting in the Superstrong Magnetic Fields of Pulsars
We discuss the polarization selection rules for splitting of the two principal electromagnetic modes that propagate in a vacuum polarized by a superstrong magnetic field (B > 0.1Bcr ' 4 × 10 G). We show that below the threshold of free pair creation the selection rules found by Adler in the limit of weak dispersion remain unaffected by taking the resonant effects into consideration, i.e., split...
